Corporate Identity of Bank SinoPac

Bank SinoPac Corporate Identity System ("CIS") is centered on the Chinese character "yuen". The design of a square and rectangles (the combination of which becomes "yuen") within a circle not only projects the image of a coin but also implies the Chinese philosophic view of the universe. The Golden Ratio of 5:8 and the red background with "yuen" in white manifest an interesting combination of themes.

Bank SinoPac CIS logo was designed by Professor Guo-Zong Chao, Former Director of Fine Arts at Taipei National University of the Arts. The logo also incorporates the following features:

1. "Yuen" stands for perpetual prosperity;2. "Yuen" has the eight individual brush strokes, the foundation of all Chinese characters;3. "Yuen" represents endless wealth like the ever-flowing water;4. The round shape projects the image of a coin;5. It is a sure-footed and balanced design structure;6. It also projects the concept of "tai-chi" with balance and harmony.

Message from the Chairman and the President

08

After almost a year of careful planning and intensive preparation, the formal merger of International Bank of Taipei(IBT) into Bank SinoPac (BSP) was finally realized on November 13, 2006. IBT is a prominent bank with 59 years ofoperations, renowned for its loyal customer base and stable profitability, while BSP is a bank frequently rated byinternational publications as the best bank in Taiwan. The new entity now has a strong operating base with 129branches in Taiwan, as well as an overseas network in 23 locations consisting of business units in Hong Kong, Macau,Vietnam, the U.S., and Mainland China.

We are determined the new Bank SinoPac will make it a long-term development goal to create a new path called the"Financial Silk Road of the 21st Century." We will be devoted to playing a key role as a bridge for businesses andindividuals to enter the swiftly flourishing Greater China market utilizing our leading electronic financial platformsthat provide both innovation and an array of differentiated client-focused solutions.

During this period of globalization, when the earth is again seen as flat by more people recently, going global seemsmore compelling for institutions like ours. We do not want to just remain in our home markets, and have chosen to be aglobal player. However, to be global means we have to compete with numerous world-class multi-national banking

conglomerates, even in regional markets. To compete effectively, we have tobecome not only bigger but also more beautiful, or attractive to our customers tosurvive such intense competition. So, our most important job following thismerger would be making Bank SinoPac highly competitive by world standards. The operating environments of financial institutions in Taiwan in the year 2006were extremely harsh due to a "credit-card crisis" never before so severe inTaiwan. It is estimated that the amount of bad credit accounts written off in theyear reached NT$204 billion, and threw the entire Taiwan banking system into acombined loss for the year of approximately NT$7.4 billion.

To make matters worse, due to ample supply of funds in the domestic market onthe one hand, and the declining demand for bank loans across all the industrieson the other, the average loan-to-deposit ratio and the average interestdifferentials of local banks all plunged at an astonishing rate. Back in 2002,when Taiwan's banking industry was devastated by the SARS calamity, theaverage interest differential on loans for all domestic banks dropped to only3.35% per annum. Surprisingly enough, not only did that differential not bounceback, but after the credit-card crisis of 2006, the interest differential dropped

even further to a record low of only 1.85% per annum. Consequently, banks had to write off large amounts of badconsumer loans, and could not make up for the deficit due to the general decline in interest income.

The consumer credit-card crisis also damaged the overall economic performance of Taiwan significantly in 2006, asevidenced by the very slow growth in private consumption. Moreover, the continued movement of manufacturingfacilities to locations outside of Taiwan has resulted in stagnant domestic investment. However, a strong trade surplusallowed Taiwan's economy to grow by 4.62% in 2006. As for 2007, domestic consumption and private investment willgain strength, but that will hardly fully offset the decline in trade expected from slower paces in both China and theU.S. Thus Taiwan's economic growth rate for 2007 is expected to slightly exceed 4%, a small decline from the 2006growth rate.

After the merger and by the end of 2006, Bank SinoPac's total assets reached NT$984 billion, net worth was reported atNT$64 billion, deposits totaled NT$755 billion, and outstanding loans totaled NT$595 billion. Our capital adequacyratio amounted to a healthy 11.34%. However, our net profit suffered alongside the very unfavorable climatethroughout Taiwan's banking industry. Nevertheless, with the large number of banks reporting losses, our loyalcustomer base and strong employee performance allowed us to report an after-tax net profit of NT$ 2.51 billion for2006. Our ROE dropped to 3.93% for the year while we took NT$6.89 billion in loan write-offs. By taking this large loanwrite-off, we maintained our non-performing loan delinquency ratio at 2.13% and our loan loss coverage ratio at 45%.

On a more positive note, our relentless long-term efforts in developing an international network of financial servicesplatforms produced very strong results. The aggregate profits of our overseas business units, including Far EastNational Bank, our subsidiary in the U.S., our Los Angeles Branch, Hong Kong and Macau Branches, and SinoPacCapital Ltd., our subsidiary in Hong Kong, in 2006 already exceeded US$46 million, surpassing all other Taiwanfinancial institutions. We will continue to expand our Asia-Pacific presence, escalate the efficiency of our "two-shore-five-location" business platforms, maintaining and even enlarging our competitive advantage in overseas businessdevelopment among our Taiwan banking peers.

During the year just passed, our corporate financial services efforts relied on our sturdy base of loyal corporatecustomers, and have provided innovative, integrated and customer-oriented cross-border solutions and superioroverseas product delivery services, to cultivate deep rewarding business relationships with new and existingcustomers. Especially for large clients whose cross-border logistics requirements are very complex, we havetechnology-advanced financial platforms with efficient delivery capabilities in place to provide optimal financialsolutions for our clients. In 2007, the first full year of operations for the combined bank, we will continue strengtheningour highly competitive Hong Kong-Macau and other overseas business platforms with new innovative capabilities.

As for our individual financial services business, after our bank merger, BankSinoPac's total consumer loans have reached NT$339 billion, placing us 5th inthe Taiwan market. In addition, our traditional consumer loan and mortgagebusiness is strongly enhanced with individual banking products such asinsurance, mutual funds, and auto loans, all leading players in the market.Moreover, we will exploit another powerful advantage, our leading number of102 branch servicing units in the high wealth greater Taipei area. Also, we willinitiate client-oriented plans to deepen our business relationships with individualcustomers of both wealth management products and housing loan, thus elevateourselves from simply a product seller to a professional personal assetmanagement advisor for our customers.

To cope with the fierce competition and increasing challenges in our targetmarkets, Bank SinoPac has, continuously over the years, remained fullycommitted to customer service quality and efficient product delivery. As aresult, we continue to be recognized as one of the best, when rated by financialpublications, among Taiwan's leading financial institutions. For instance, the"Ten Best Service Business Rating" article, released in the November 2006 issue of Global Views Monthly, put usnumber one in Taiwan for the heartiest, most sincere customer service from our representatives behind our branchcounters. In addition, the September 2006 issue of Asiamoney gave us the title of "Best Domestic Provider of ForeignExchange Services."

In the coming year of 2007, the new integration-completed Bank SinoPac will be in a strong position to expand itsefforts in developing corporate, individual banking, and financial market businesses both domestically and abroad. Ournetwork of branches and service platforms across the Asia-Pacific region allows us to strengthen our product deliveryand enhance valuable relationships with the increasing number of clients doing business in the region. In addition, thesynergies and benefits of merger provide both scale and scope to our capabilities and resources. The increasedeconomic activity in the Asia-Pacific markets that we serve presents both increased competition and abundant valuableopportunities for us. We are confident that Bank SinoPac, with the loyal support of our customers, the dedicated workethics of our employees, and the continued patronage of our shareholders, will be successful in meeting the newchallenges in this thriving Greater China market.

Corporate Profile

Background

Bank SinoPac ('BSP'), a wholly owned subsidiary of SinoPac Financial Holdings Co., Limited ('SPFH'), is a full-servicecommercial bank with banking services equally emphasized in corporate and individual sectors. In addition totraditional banking services in savings and loans, BSP has put a lot of efforts on the integration of financial productsand the enhancement of the technology content in its service platforms. Back in 2000, BSP launched its MoneyManagement Account (MMA), a truly state-of-the-art product that could consolidate customers' accounts in savings,loans, securities, mutual funds and credit cards into one summary, and consequently into one account, and thus enableour customers to manage their assets much more easily and efficiently. Since then, BSP has become the clear marketleader in product innovation in the Taiwan banking community. We followed with a number of similar, yet moreadvanced creative products for our customers by utilizing our expertise in e-commerce and our established channels ofcross-border banking services, such as B-to-B Pay-Web, e-Factoring Payment System, as well as our powerfulCrossPacific Account (CPA). Through these products, we can help our clients establish highly effective managementtools in cash flow and portfolio management.

After years of expansion, BSP has not only conducted business throughout Taiwan, but also had it extended into HongKong, Macau, Vietnam, China and the United States. Furthermore, on Nov. 13th, 2006, BSP announced the completion ofthe merger with the International Bank of Taipei ('IBT'), which is also a member of SPFH with 59 years of operations,and operating more branches in the Greater Taipei area than any other bank, and consequently, has the strongestcustomer base of small and medium businesses in that area. Benefiting from the merger of the two banks, the new BSPhas inherited both their achievements and resources, including those comprehensive business networks, innovativeproduct lines and advanced information systems. Now it has already built up an operational structure consisting of 10divisions, three business groups and an offshore banking unit, as well as 129 local branches, five overseas branches(two in Hong Kong, two in Macau, and one in Los Angeles), one representative office (in Vietnam), and a Californiasubsidiary, FENB, which owns 15 branches in the U.S, one branch in Vietnam, and one representative office in Beijing.As of the end of 2006, the bank employed a staff of almost 5,000 and reported paid-in capital over NT$46 billion andtotal assets of NT$984 billion.

In addition to the above, BSP currently owns these other subsidiaries: SinoPac Leasing Corporation, SinoPac CapitalLtd. (HK), SinoPac Life Insurance Agent Co., Ltd., SinoPac Property Insurance Agent Co., Ltd., and SinoPac FinancialConsulting Co., Ltd. Each renders specialized and distinctive financial services that are different from one another and thoseoffered by BSP. By integrating the resources from these subsidiaries, BSP can thereby set a long term goal to provide thestate-of-the-art financial services to our worldwide customers, so as to create a financial "new silk road of the 21st Century".

Economic and Financial Review

Global Overview

In the beginning of year 2006, the world's economy was approaching a rather fair situation. The profitability ofenterprises in the U.S., Japan and the Euro Zone all reached a higher level than previous quarters, and most stockmarkets around the world were appearing bullish. Whereas, subsequently, oil prices and raw material costs bothstarted soaring and the inflation pressure was consequently growing. That pushed the Federal Reserve of the U.S. toraise the Fed Funds rate, separately, at the end of March, May and June in the first half of the year. On the other side ofthe Atlantic, and for the same reason, the European Central Bank also lifted the benchmark rate in early March.Basically, the first half of 2006 was characterized by a series of adjustments in reflection of a relatively high level of oilprices, raw material costs and interest rates.

Afterwards, in consideration of the slowdown in the housing market and an already high market interest rate level, theFed did not raise the Fed Funds rate any further and allowed it to remain at 5.25% until the end of the year. Thebooming status of the U.S. economy prevalent in the beginning of 2006 was not to be seen for the rest of the year. Onthe other hand, the European Central Bank had continued to lift the benchmark rate several times until it reached 3.5%,in order to prevent inflation from damaging the steady economic expansion in the Euro area. Thereafter, oil pricesstarted to plunge after August. At just about the same time, the Bank of Japan also decided to end the zero-interest-ratepolicy by raising the key rate from zero to 0.25% in July reflecting the fact that the economic recovery has been on themove gradually. Values of main trading currencies moved along with each of their interest rate levels accordingly. Forexample, the Euro appreciated 11.4% against the U.S. dollar and 12% versus the Japanese yen, while the yen declined1.11% against the U.S. dollar throughout 2006. The case was quite different for the renminbi as it rose by 3.28%against the U.S. dollar for the whole year due to the huge trade surplus earned by China. As to the investment market,motivated by abundant in-flow of capital, most stock exchanges in the world saw very strong performance. Amongthem, the China stock market ranked first with total market caps advancing by more than 100%. Other countries, suchas the U.S. (Dow Jones), Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia, also posted record highs.

In aggregate, the global economy as a whole performed quite well during 2006, with developed economies (such as theU.S.) expanding moderately and the emerging economies (such as China and India) growing sharply. According to theestimation by Global Insight, the worldwide economic growth rate for 2006 would arrive at 3.9%, a little higher thanthe 3.5% of the previous year.

16

For the prospects of 2007, first of all, the originally downward trend of crude oil prices caused by decreasing demand,

which was driven by factors such as the mitigation of the Middle Eastern tension, the slowdown of the U.S. economy

and the consequences of global warming, is expected to moderate or even reverse following OPEC's possible production

adjustments. Secondly, it is believed that the U.S. Fed would confront the rate-cutting issue again sooner or later, once

the domestic inflation pressure is released, while the interest rate level of the Euro area is still low even after several

increases in 2006. This would provide the European Central Bank enough room for further rate hikes and strengthen

the Euro. However, the yen, already hobbled under the low-rate policy of the Bank of Japan, will likely remain weak. As

to the renminbi, it is expected to appreciate moderately to reflect the ever expanding Chinese trade surplus, or, possibly,

appreciate sharply should the Chinese authorities loosen its controls on foreign exchange trading.

As a whole, it is expected that the U.S. housing market would continue to slow down and the expansion of the economy

would therefore be dampened with the growth rate being reduced to 2.4% in 2007. Fortunately, its negative impact on

the global economy may be offset by some extent due to the persistent momentum of recovery in Europe and Japan,

and robust growth in the emerging economies. Global Insight projected that the global economic growth rate could

reach 3.3%, only a little lower than the previous year. Whereas, global uncertainties such as extreme weather

conditions and floods may lead to even more devastating damages, and also potential threats, such as attacks from

terrorists, crisis of nuclear weapons linked to Iran and North Korea, and war in the Middle East, are all variables that

might influence the global economy significantly.

Domestic Outlook

Despite the steady growth of international business activities and stronger global economic momentum, domestic

demand in Taiwan in 2006 was extraordinarily sluggish. The influence of a severe consumer credit crunch, which

originated more than a year ago, kept the economy down, and even started permeating into areas other than the

banking industry. Retail selling, worst of all those of department stores, supermarkets and car dealerships, slumped

dramatically. As a result, it was estimated that the growth rate of private sector consumption, which accounts for

nearly 60% of GDP, was only 1.5% throughout 2006, a decrease of 1.2 percentage points from the previous year. The

investment in the private sector also appeared weak and only reported a slight growth of 1.3%. Fortunately, foreign

Economic and Financial Review

17

trade, supported by vigorous international economies, showed unexpectedly growth as export orders hit record highs.

As a result, exports and imports for 2006 both scored two-digit growth (12.9% and 11%, respectively), and total

foreign trade exceeded 400 billion U.S. dollars for the first time, with the trade surplus amounting to US$21.2 billion.

Since the impact of sluggish domestic demand was more than offset by the influence of prosperous foreign trade, the

Taiwanese economy as a whole could still be moving smoothly. According to the estimates of the statistical authority,

the GDP growth rate of Taiwan for 2006 would rise to 4.62%, from 4.03% of the previous year. Under these

circumstances, the domestic industrial production should keep at some reasonable level. However, due to a higher

comparison base period and a ever-rising proportion (up to nearly 45%) of overseas production for major

manufacturing industries, the growth rate of the industrial production index dropped month after month in 2006, and

even became negative in December. While, comfortingly, the employment status was getting better. The average

unemployment rate in 2006 declined to 3.91%, from 4.13% of the previous year, marking the lowest level for the most

recent six years. As for the consumer price index, which had been suppressed by weak domestic demand, it remained

relatively stable and rose by only 0.6 percentage point for the year 2006.

In respect of capital market movement, benefiting from the overwhelming inflow of foreign capital, the domestic

stock market maintained bullish for the most part of the year. The TAIEX rose 1275.38 points, or 19.47%,

throughout 2006, and in the period reached a new record high for the past six years. The accumulated net

overbought position by foreign investors had amounted to NT$560 billion till the end of the year, constituting the

major driving force for the market's bullishness. In addition to that, a stream of cross-border M&A activities had

also been created in Taiwan. In 2006, those domestic enterprises acquired by foreign private funds or enterprises

included HiBank (acquired by Standard Chartered Bank), Taiwan Green Point Enterprise (by Jabil), Advanced

Semiconductor Engineering Group (by Carlyle Group), and many others, whose transaction value totals amounted to

as high as US$ 7 billion. As such, the total amount of foreign investment approved in 2006 could surpass the

threshold of US$ 10 billion easily, and reach US$ 14 billion in the end, increased by 230% annually, and reaching a

historical high.

Turning to the domestic monetary situation, the growth rate of money supply shrank in 2006 because of the slowing

of consumption and investment. According to the statistics of the Central Bank, the growth rates of M1a、M1b in

2006 declined to 5.72% and 5.30% from 7.65% and 7.10% in 2005 respectively, while that of M2 remained at 6.22%.

The Central Bank raised the benchmark rates 12.5 basis points at the end of each of the four quarters, in order to

maintain the balance between the U.S. Fed Fund rate and domestic real interest rate. As a whole for the year 2006,

the rediscount rate was lifted by 50 basis points, to 2.75%. Nevertheless, the weighted average of overnight interest

rate in the market had only been pushed up 25 basis points throughout the year to 1.661%, and the interest rates for

deposits less than one year offered by banks had also gone up slightly to around 2.2%. As for the exchange rate of

the NT dollar, the movement was in reverse to that of the U.S. dollar for the most part of 2006. It appreciated

markedly in most of the first, second and fourth quarter of 2006, while depreciated moderately in the remaining days.

At the end of the year, the NT dollar closed at NT$32.596 against the U.S. dollar, representing a net rise of 0.78%

throughout the year 2006.

For the coming year, following expected weakening of the global economy, the GDP growth rate would also decline

slightly, to 4.30%. Of which, exports and imports would both increase about 6% annually, though the figures in the

comparison base period were already very high. Moreover, domestic demand would be recovering gradually as the

impact of the consumer credit crunch begins to fade. Then the growth rate of consumption in the private sector is

expected to rise to a normal level of around 3% per annum, and the consumer price index would also be going up

moderately to 1.52% a year. However, the Central Bank may raise the benchmark rates further, in view of a sustained

low real interest rate level and the rebounding of consumption level and price index. In spite of the sharp upward

Economic and Financial Review

Source: Central Bank of the Republic of ChinaMovement of the Exchange Rate of NT$ against US$ in 2006

moving of the U.S. dollar in early 2007, considering the expected narrowing of the interest rate gap between Taiwan

and the U.S., the persistent inflow of western capital, and the giant pressure on the renminbi's appreciation, the odds for

the NT dollar to appreciate against the U.S. dollar in the year is high. However, based on the government's long-time

policy of not impairing the competitiveness of exports, the pace and extent of that appreciation should be relatively

moderate and orderly.

Nevertheless, the loosening of the restrictions on the economic and trade relations between both shores of the Taiwan

straits still seems not very likely in the near future, while the disturbance in domestic political activities are becoming

much more severe recently, and challenges like these will surely be unfavorable to the positive development of the

domestic demand in Taiwan. In addition, the uncertainties in the global status will also be affecting the movement of

local economic development.

Operating Report

Business Review

Individual Financial Services Group

In 2006, Individual Financial Services Group, in addition to the abundant efforts and resources put in the merger-

related activities, has made significant progress in its own business development, and posted very strong performance

for the year.

Retail Business

The Taiwan banking industry went through an extremely hard time in the personal banking sector in 2006. Due to the

card-credit crisis, most of the financial institutions had encountered a distressed situation of increasing bad loans and

decreasing revenues, thus reduced the bank's profitability. BSP, thanks to its strict credit policy adopted ever since it

initiated operations, did not focus on that segment of the business and the negative impact was therefore minor.

However, our unsecured consumer loans still suffered indirectly. To make matters worse, in reaction to the turmoil in

the credit/cash card market, most financial institutions turned to aggressively attacking the mortgage loan business,

which is also our core business, thus heated up the competition and drove our profit down. Facing the challenge, we

had tried very hard on reducing the cost of capital, enlarging the interest differentials, and, in addition, on the

innovation of products, deepening our market differentiation. Furthermore, we also strived to categorize customer

groups by attributes through utilizing a Customer Relationship Management system, and to deploy different small-

sized promotion projects to fit the different needs of those customer groups, with a hope to broaden our business scale

and to keep the profitability from falling. In addition to that, we had devoted ourselves on intensively plowing our

extensive and qualified mortgage customer base, interactively strengthening the business relationship between each

other, in order to be fully aware of their financial requirements and to identify the Wealth Management business

opportunity among them, so as to provide one-stop personal financial services for them. By all these measures, we

could finally stabilize our market positions in the Individual Financial Services sector in Taiwan's highly competitive

environments and successfully fortify our own foundation for the future development within Bank SinoPac.

Through the efforts mentioned above and together with the help of the synergy of the merger with IBT, as of the end of

2006, our total outstanding of consumer loans reached NT$339 billion, representing a market share of 5.42%, and

ranking 5th among domestic banks. Of which, the balance of mortgage loans exceeded NT$300 billion and ranked 3rd in

the market; auto loans was NT$ 7.6 billion and ranked 5th; unsecured consumer loans was NT$25 billion. As to asset

quality, we maintained an NPL ratio of 2.08% for consumer loans, a somewhat high level due to the recent consumer

credit crunch.

Wealth Management Business

In recent years, the Wealth Management market in Taiwan has been growing significantly, and its prospects were

regarded as very promising by most of the domestic banks. We, sharing the same view, have exerted lots of effort on

the development of related business. In 2006, we keep on pushing our previous efforts in this field. Following the

merger of IBT and BSP, and to take advantage of our vastly increased size and resources, we made an overall

renovation to our organization, and established a dedicated Wealth Management Division to assume responsibilities of

coordination and development activities. We provided professional support to business units all over the island, and

trained financial planners for these units, and helped them obtain professional CFP license and others. We successfully

21

brought forth the policy of customer grading and product matching, through which our financial planners would be

able to provide the most suitable financial product mix to customers based on their financial resources, preference, and

experience, and accordingly to enhance the satisfaction of our high net worth customers. The outcome was very

prominent. As of the day of the merger completion, or November 13th, 2006, our customers of Wealth Management

already exceeded 37,000, and their assets under our management rose to NT$279,638 million. Besides, our total number

of certified financial planners (CFP) reached 230. In summary, our capabilities in Wealth Management, in terms of staff

professionalism, business scale, and overall service quality, have already surpassed the qualifications of domestic

larger banks.

Trust Business

In 2006, our Trust Division, in addition to regularly participating in merger preparations, aggressively developed or

introduced a large variety of new products to cater to the emerging needs of the market, and to take advantage of the

most updated industrial trend and legislative actions. Among which, life insurance linked products and overseas

securities linked products were included, and both have been very popular since they were first brought to the market.

In total, the amount of designated purpose pecuniary trust we handled for investments in local mutual funds and

foreign securities for the whole year of 2006 reached NT$97,598 million, with an accumulated year-ending balance of

NT$110,569 million. Besides, the amount of stocks and corporate bonds attested for the year was NT$58,504 million,

and local mutual funds in custody at the year-end amounted to NT$174,559 million, while the entrusted corporate

bonds balance reached NT$247,147 million. Moreover, the assets under the businesses of custody of domestic securities

for foreign institutions, employee welfare and savings trust, employee pension funds, and discretionary investment as a

whole at the end of 2006 totaled NT$383,002 million.

Corporate Financial Services Group

The merger of Bank SinoPac and International Bank of Taipei gave us a very large loyal customer base of large

corporations and smaller SME customers. The Group made dramatic adjustments in the organization and management

system, in which the marketing arms were rebuilt to fully reflect the most effective division of selling efforts according

to industry categories as well as the size of the corporate customers. In addition, a new business platform, Hong Kong

& Macau Center, was established to effectively integrate our corporate marketing efforts in Southern China.

Corporate Banking Business

Our Corporate Financial Services Group, based on the goal of becoming the most qualified regional bank in the Greater

China area, has made it our dedicated mandate to provide our customers cross regional, cross platform, and globalized

financial services, making them the centerpiece of our corporate business. We have our electronic financial service

platforms in place, with business units in both Hong Kong, the financial pivot in Asia, and Macau, the fastest economic

mover in recent years, and opened our second Hong Kong branch in Kowloon, and our second Macau branch in Bei-

Guan. Our Hong Kong & Macau center platform coordinates and consolidates all business activities in the area. Having

that structure in place, we can consequently link up our other regional resources such as Los Angeles branch, Ho Chi

Ming City Rep Office, as well as our subsidiary, Far East National Bank's international outlets in the U.S., Beijing and

Vietnam. This comprehensive platform structure allows us to effectively construct a cash flow management system

that is broad, responsive, effective, secure, and reliable for our multinational customers.

Operating Report

As to the products we provide, the CPA (CrossPacific Account), already established for more than 3 years, is still our

most technically-advanced and effective tool to help meet the cross border cash management and cross border

financing requirements of both large corporations and SME customers. With its high value added service capabilities to

which our customers have always given very complimentary remarks, this CPA product has already attracted 2,400

corporate users. Moreover, one of our related prestigious product, MMAb2b corporate financial website, has already

registered a list of users of nearly 14,000 companies, by virtue of its convenient online services. Meanwhile, another

product, Factoring by Insurance, launched at the end of 2004, has become our top selling product in recent years, for its

superior functions that effectively reduce operating costs in our factoring business, and help us expand our factoring

business in the U.S. and Europe.

In addition, we had achieved very positive progress penetrating the domestic syndicated loan market in 2006. Besides

participating in numerous cases led by other banks, we have succeeded in leading the arrangement of the factoring-

based syndication loan granted to institutions like PT Maspion of Indonesia (4-year, US$40 million), and Macquarie

Securities of Australia (2-year, NT$4 billion), as well as our third syndication loan for Pine Street Assets Management

Corporation (2-year, NT$2.656 billion).

As a whole, benefiting from the synergy of the merger and the effects of our aggressive marketing promotions

throughout the year, the total outstanding of our corporate loans at the end of 2006 amounted to NT$257 billion.

Although this was a difficult year for the Taiwan economy, nevertheless we were able to maintain a relatively healthy

loan delinquency ratio of 2.2%.

Offshore Banking and Foreign Exchange Business

The business contact across the Taiwan Straits has thrived in 2006 and demands for related financial services have

been increasing persistently. It was just about the time that we established the Hong Kong & Macau Business Platform,

and started to provide integrated cross border services via integrated business units, The Taiwan-based corporate

customers were rushing in to take advantage. At the same time, we also initiated a comprehensive promotion campaign

targeting the small and medium-sized businesses by introducing the application of online trade financing products like

E - Credit Negotiation and E - L/C Issuance, which were closely associated with MMAb2b.com. As a result, our business

volume of foreign exchange transactions increased significantly, and helped produce good performance in our

international trade finance business for the whole year.

In addition to that, we have been more and more active also in the dealing of overseas securities and the involvement of

international syndicated loan in recent years. In 2006 our focus of securities investment was on fixed-income, credit-

linked derivatives and asset-based securitization products, including those of Assets Swap in which we already have

accumulated years of dealing experience, and Credit Structured Products whose market had been growing recently. As

to international syndication loan, our emphasis was on those countries or areas that had been rather stable in both

political and economic situations, especially those relating to financial institutions or internationally competitive

enterprises with a solid business base. We very carefully diversified all important criteria including due date and

location of borrowers in order to control associated risks. By so doing, we could accordingly ensure steady interest

income and appropriate capital gains while only taking a reasonable level of risk.

As of the end of 2006, our total balance of foreign exchange deposits was US$4.42 billion. Our trading volume of export

negotiations and D/P, D/A amounted to US$2.239 billion for the whole year of 2006, ranking 10th among domestic

banks with a market share of 2.49%, while that of import L/C issuance and D/P, D/A reached US$2.576 billion, standing

www.banksinopac.com

23

in 12th place among local banks with 2.43% share of the market. As a whole, our market strength in the foreign

exchange related businesses among local peers is within the top 10.

Financial Market Group

In past years, the competitiveness in financial markets has been getting much more intensive, and that has very much

increased the difficulty of financial operations. The domestic markets, by nature, are not deep markets, and therefore

are unduly and easily influenced by other non-fundamental factors like political issues, cross-Strait tension, and trading

volume, thus the markets' movement tends to be volatile and not easy to predict. As to the international markets, the

hedge funds, the most active player in the global securities markets recently, have been getting ever larger in scale

gradually, and the amount and the momentum of their trading, mostly short-term, have become bigger, and the

multitude of the fluctuation of, say, the currencies' exchange rate and the prices of raw materials, both are their major

trading targets, has unavoidably become larger accordingly, and so those markets' movement is similarly very

unpredictable now.

To make matters worse, following the revelation of the impact of the enforcement of Financial Accounting Standards

No. 34, our listed company customers turned to be conservative regarding risk-aversion operations in interest rates and

exchange rates, and our related fee incomes have hence been decreased. As counter measures, we have developed new

derivatives instruments, and used them to supplement those traditional financial operation products like foreign

exchange forward, interest rate swaps, and outright trading of bills and bonds. We were able to fulfill customers'

demands on asset allocation with customer-tailored solutions, and this also helped us replace traditional fee income.

Also, we were very active in the dealing of bonds' spots and bonds' options in 2006, and had been very successful on

strategically raising the proportion of trading on foreign currency denominated bonds and futures, generating good

revenues in the year. Moreover, we had persistently and aggressively acted as a market maker in the quoting services

of FX SWAP in 2006, through the skillful application of tools for both money market and NT dollar interest exchange,

and not only maintained the leading position in the field, but also earned ‘the Best Domestic Provider of FX Services'

rating granted by Asiamoney.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Bank’s financial statements were prepared in conformity with Criteria Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports byPublic Banks, requirement the Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting and accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the Republic of China (ROC). In determining the fair value of certain financial instruments, allowancefor credit losses, depreciation, assets impairment, pension, income tax, losses upon suspended lawsuit and provision for losseson guarantees, the Bank needs to make estimates based on judgment and available information. The estimates were usuallymade under uncertain conditions, actual results could differ from those estimates. Since the operating cycle could not bereasonably identified in the banking industry, accounts included in the Bank’s financial statements were not classified as currentor non-current. Nevertheless, accounts were properly categorized according to the nature of each account, and sequenced by

their liquidity. Please refer to Note 32 for maturity analysis of assets and liabilities. Significant accounting policies of theBank are summarized below:

Basis of Financial Statement Preparation

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Head Office, OBU, all branches and the representative office.All interoffice transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Financial Instruments at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss consist of any financial asset and liability that is designated on initialrecognition as one to be measured at fair value with fair value changes in profit or loss and financial assets and liabilities which

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005(FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 WAS RESTATED -PLEASE REFER TO Note 30)(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Stated)

should be classified as held for trading. Those instruments are required to be recognized at fair value and to be measured atfair value through profit or loss on the balance sheet date. The Bank uses trade date accounting when recording transaction.

Derivative instruments transaction which do not meet the specified criteria to obtain hedge accounting treatment are classified asfinancial assets or liabilities held for trading when the fair value of a derivative is positive, it is carried as an asset and wherenegative as a liability.

Fair value are determined as follows: (a) listed stocks and GreTai Securities Market (the “GTSM”) stocks - closing prices asof the balance sheet date; (b) beneficiary certificates (open-end fund) - net asset values as of the balance sheet dates; (c) bonds -period-end reference prices published by the GTSM or Bloomberg; and (d) for the financial instruments without active markets,

fair value is determined using valuation techniques.

Any financial asset and any financial liability may be designated as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss toeliminate measurement anomalies for items that provide a natural offset of each other. Besides, the set of financial assets,financial liabilities or combined by both of them managed according to the Bank’s risk management policies and investmentstrategies will be designated as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions

Securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repurchase) agreements and securities sold under agreements torepurchase are generally treated as collateralized financing transactions. Interest earned on reverse repurchase agreements andinterest incurred on repurchase agreements is recognized as interest income or interest expense over the life of each agreement.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets are

reported in equity attribute to the Bank’s shareholders. On disposal of an available-for-sale financial asset, the accumulated,unrealized gain or loss in equity attributable to the Bank’s shareholders is transferred to net profit and loss for the period. TheBank uses trade date accounting when recording available-for-sale portfolio transactions.

Dividend income from equity securities is recognized on ex-dividend dates. Cash dividends received a year after investmentacquisition are recognized as income, otherwise as a reduction of the carrying value of the investments. The effective interestrate method of amortization and accretion is used, the straight line method is used if there is no significant difference.

If an available-for-sale financial asset is determined to be impaired, the accumulative unrealized loss previously recognized inequity attributable to the Bank shareholders is recognized as impairment loss and reported in income statement. For equityinvestments, loss reversal is adjusted to the equity attributable to the Bank shareholders. For debt investments, loss reversal iscredited to current income.

Nonperforming Loans

Under guidelines issued by the Banking Bureau of Financial Supervisory Commission (the Banking Bureau), the balance ofloans and other credits extended by the Bank and the related accrued interest thereon are classified as nonperforming when the

loan is overdue and shall be authorized by a resolution passed by the board of directors.

Nonperforming loans reclassified from loans are classified as discounts and loans; otherwise, are classified as other financialassets.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Provision for Losses on Guarantees

In determining the allowance for credit losses and provision for losses on guarantees, the Bank assesses the collectibility on the

balances of discounts and loans, accounts receivables, interest receivables, other receivables, nonperforming loans, and otherfinancial assets, as well as guarantees and acceptances as of the balance sheet dates.

Pursuant to “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal withNon-performing/Non-accrual Loans” (the “Regulations”) issued by the Banking Bureau, the Bank evaluates credit losses on thebasis of the estimated collectibility. In accordance with the Regulations stated above, the minimum provision for credit lossesshould not be less than the aggregate of 50% of the doubtful credits and 100% of the unrecoverable credits. Since July 2005,the Regulations amended the classification of loan assets, which divided the loan assets into different classes subject to assets

that require special mentioned, assets that are substandard, assets that are doubtful, and assets for which there is loss. Theminimum allowance for credit losses and provision for losses on guarantees for the aforementioned classes should be 2%, 10%,50% and 100% of outstanding credits, respectively. The amendments on the classification of loan assets have no significantimpact on the Bank’s financial statements.

36

Financial Report

Write-offs of loans falling under the Banking Bureau guidelines, upon approval by the board of directors, are offset against therecorded allowance for credit losses.

Held-to-maturity Investments

Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost, which are valued by interest method, otherwise use the straight linemethod if there is no significant difference. At initial recognition, the costs of the financial assets are valued at fair value of thefinancial assets together with acquire or issue costs. The net profit and loss of the held-to-maturity investments for the periodare reported in to income statement when on disposal, impairment or amortization. The Bank uses trade date accounting whenrecording transaction.

If a held-to-maturity financial asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss is recognized and reported in incomestatement. Loss reversal is credited to current income and should not be more than the carrying amount had the impairment notbeen recognized.

Equity Investments - Equity Method

Equity investments are accounted for by the equity method if the Bank has significant influence over the investees. Under thismethod, investments are stated at cost plus (or minus) a proportionate share in net earnings (losses) or changes in net worth of

the investees. Goodwill is not amortized but test annually for impairment since January 1, 2006. Until December 31, 2005,any difference between the acquisition cost and the equity in the investee is amortized over 15 years. Stock dividends resultonly in an increase in number of shares and are not recognized as investment income.

If an investee issues new shares and the Bank does not acquire new shares in proportion to its current equity in the investee, theresulting increase of the Bank’s equity in the investee’s net asset is credited to capital surplus. Any decrease of the Bank’sequity in the investee’s net asset is debited to capital surplus. If capital surplus is not enough for the debiting purpose, theremaining is debited to unappropriated retained earnings.

Financial Asset Securitization

Under the “Regulations for Financial Asset Securitization”, the Bank securitized part of its enterprise loans and entrusted thoseloans to the commissioned organization for the issuance of the related beneficiary certificates. Thus, the Bank derecognizesthe loans and records gain or loss because the control of contractual rights - except for subordinated retained interests for creditenhancement, which were reclassified as available-for-sale financial assets - on the loans has been surrendered and transferred toa special purpose trustee.

The gain or loss on the sale of the loans is the difference between the proceeds and carrying amount of the loans. The previouscarrying amount of the loans should be allocated by applying the ratios of the retained subordinated beneficiary certificates andthe part sold to their fair values on the date of sale. Because quotes are not available for loans and retained subordinatedbeneficiary certificates, the Bank estimates fair value at the present value of expected future cash flows, using management’skey assumptions on credit losses and discount rates commensurate to the risks involved.

Subordinated beneficiary certificates - retained interest of securitization are accounted for as available-for-sale financial assets.Interest revenue is recorded when received. The Bank evaluates retained interests by estimating present value of expected

future cash flows, the difference will be recognized under stockholders’ equity. If the substantive period the impairment isobviously related to the subject occurred after the recognition of impairment, the difference will be reversed and recognized ascurrent income or loss. However, the book value with the reversal amount must not exceed the amortized cost withoutrecognizing the loss.

Properties and Non-operating Assets

Properties and non-operating assets (including cost and revaluation increment)are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Upon sale or disposal of properties and non-operating assets, their cost, revaluation increment and related accumulateddepreciation are removed from the accounts. Any resulting gain (loss) is credited (charged) to current income.

Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method on the basis of service lives initially estimated as follows: buildings, 5 to60 years; computer equipment, 3 to 5 years; transportation equipment, 5 years; and office and other equipment, 3 to 15 years.Depreciation on revalued property is computed on the basis of their remaining useful lives at the time of the revaluation. For

assets still in use beyond their original estimated service lives, further depreciation is calculated on the basis of any remainingsalvage value and the estimated additional service lives.

37

Collaterals Assumed

Collaterals assumed are recorded at cost (included in other assets) and revalued at the lower of cost or net fair value on thebalance sheet dates, and resulting loss is charged to current income.

Other Financial Assets

Non-active market debt instruments are those which do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair valuecannot be reliably measured. Non-active market debt instruments are carried at amortized cost. The accounting treatment ofnon-active market debt instruments is similar to the one of held-to maturity investments but there’s no prohibition on sale of

non-active market debt instruments.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot bereliably measure, are measured at cost. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired, an impairment loss isrecognized and reversal of impairment loss is prohibited.

Amortization of Bond Issuance Cost

The direct and necessary costs (included in other assets) related to the Euro-convertible bonds issued before December 31, 2005are amortized using the straight-line method and recognized as issuance expenses over the period from its issuance date to theexpiration date of the put option.

Bonds Payable

The Euro-convertible bonds issued before December 31, 2005 were recognized as liabilities by its issued price. Under thebook value method applied for the conversion of Euro-convertible bonds, the carrying value, interest premium and the related

issuance costs were converted into capital stocks in the amount of face value, while the remaining amount were recorded intocapital surplus on the conversion date.

Upon repurchase of the Euro-convertible bonds, the face amount plus the premium and bond issuance expense accrued to thedate of repurchase are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

39

recognized as deferred income tax liabilities. Valuation allowance is provided for deferred income tax assets that are notcertain to be realized.

SPH adopted the linked-tax system for income tax filings with its qualified subsidiaries, including the Bank, since 2003. Thedifferent amounts between tax expense and deferred tax liabilities and assets based on consolidation and SPH with its qualifiedsubsidiaries are adjusted on SPH, related amounts are recognized as accounts receivable or accounts payable.

“Income Basic Tax Act” shall come into force on January 1, 2006. The amount of basic income of a profit-seeking enterprise

shall be the sum of the taxable income as calculated in accordance with the Income Tax Act and income exempted due tosuspension of income tax and other relevant laws, and then multiplied by the tax rate (10%) prescribed by the Executive Yuan.The affect of which higher between regular income tax and basic tax had been considered in current income tax.

Asset Impairment

The Bank began applying ROC Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 35, “Accounting for AssetImpairment,” on January 1, 2005, which requires that cash-generating units (CGUs) and certain assets, including investments

accounted for by the equity method, properties, goodwill, etc., be subject to an impairment review.

SFAS No. 35 requires the impairment review on long-term investments accounted for by the equity method and properties to bemade on each balance sheet date. If assets or CGUs are deemed impaired, then the Bank must calculate their recoverableamounts. An impairment loss should be recognized whenever the recoverable amount of the assets or the CGU is below the

carrying amount, and this impairment loss either is charged to accumulated impairment or reduces the carrying amount of theassets or CGUs directly. After the recognition of an impairment loss, the depreciation (amortization) should be adjusted infuture periods by the revised asset/CGUs carrying amount (net of accumulated impairment), less its salvage value, on asystematic basis over its remaining service life. If asset impairment loss (excluding goodwill) is reversed, the increase in thecarrying amount resulting from reversal is credited to current income. However, loss reversal should not be more than thecarrying amount (net of depreciation) had the impairment not been recognized. An impairment loss on a revalued asset isrecognized directly against capital surplus from revaluation for the asset to the same asset. A reversal of an impairment loss ona revalued asset is credited directly to capital surplus from revaluation under the heading capital surplus from revaluation.

However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognized as profit or loss, a reversalof that impairment loss is also recognized as profit or loss.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstance indicate goodwillimpairment. Impairment is recorded if the book value exceeds value in use. After the impairment is recognized, the goodwill

should still be amortized periodically. The increase in the recoverable amount of goodwill in the period following therecognition of an impairment loss is likely to be an increase in internally generated goodwill rather than the reversal of theimpairment loss recognized for the acquired goodwill. Thus, reversal of impairment loss on goodwill is prohibited.

Contingencies

A loss is recognized when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. If the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated or the loss is possible, the related

information is disclosed in the financial statements.

Foreign-currency Translations

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date of the transaction. At the balance sheet date,monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan dollars equivalents using theclosing exchange rate. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of transactions at rates different from those at the date ofthe transaction, as well as unrealized foreign exchange differences on unsettled foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities,

are recognized in the income statement.

Unrealized exchange differences on non-monetary financial assets (investments in equity instruments) are a component of thechange in their entire fair value. For a non-monetary financial asset classified as held for trading, unrealized exchangedifferences are recognized in the income statement. For non-monetary financial investments, which are classified asavailable-for-sale, unrealized exchange differences are recorded directly in equity until the asset is sold or becomes impaired.

40

Financial Report

Except for the initial investment cost, gains or losses resulting from restatement at period-end of foreign-currency denominatedequity investments accounted for by the equity method are credited or charged to “cumulative translation adjustment” under

stockholders’ equity.

Hedge Accounting

Non-trading derivatives, which are used primarily as a risk management tool for hedging interest rate risk arising on on-balancesheet liabilities, are accounted for on the same basis as the underlying items being hedged.

In order to qualify as a hedge, a derivative must effectively reduce any risk inherent in the hedged item from potential

movements in interest rates, exchange rates and market values. Changes in the fair value of the derivative must be highlycorrelated with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item over the life of the hedged contract. At the inception ofthe hedge, there must be formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship, the Bank’s risk managementobjective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged items, overall risk management objectivesand strategies and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness.

A fair value hedge that meets all the hedge accounting criteria is accounted for as follows:

a. The gain or loss from re-measuring the hedging instrument at fair value (for a derivative hedging instrument) or the foreigncurrency component of its carrying amount (for a non-derivative hedging instrument) is recognised immediately in profit orloss, and

b. The carrying amount of the hedged item is adjusted through profit or loss for the corresponding gain or loss attributable to thehedged risk.

Reclassifications

Certain 2005 accounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 financial statements presentation.

3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Effective January 1, 2006, the Bank adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 34 “Accounting for FinancialInstruments”, No. 36 “Disclosure and Presentation of Financial Instruments” and other standards amended for harmonising with

those two standards.

b. Reclassification

Under an explanation issued by ARDF of ROC, when the Bank adopts Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 34effective on January 1, 2006, the Bank needs to reclassify the comparative financial statements for the year ended 2005

instead of restating. The Bank shall state the different valuation method in the notes to the financial statements.

www.banksinopac.com

41

The different valuation methods of financial instruments the Bank applies are summarized as follows:1) Securities purchased

Securities which are acquired principally for the purpose of sale in the near term are stated at the lower of cost ormarket value. Market prices are determined as follows: (a) listed stocks - average daily closing prices for the lastmonth of the accounting period and; (b) GTSM stocks - average daily closing prices for the last month of theaccounting period, published by GTSM.

2) Long-term investments

Long-term equity investments are accounted for by the cost method if the Bank does not have significant influenceover the investees. For listed and GTSM stocks accounted for by the cost method, when the aggregate market valueis lower than the total carrying amount, an allowance for decline in market value is provided and the unrealized loss ischarged against stockholders’ equity. If a decline in the value of an unlisted stock investment is considered aspermanent loss, the decline is charged to current income.

3) Foreign exchange forward

Foreign-currency assets and liabilities arising from forward exchange contracts, which are mainly for accommodatingcustomers’ needs or managing the Bank’s currency positions, are recorded at the contracted forward rates. Gains orlosses arising from the differences between the contracted forward rates and spot rates on settlement are credited orcharged to current income. For contracts outstanding on the balance sheet dates, the gains or losses arising from thedifferences between the contracted forward rates and the forward rates available for the remaining maturities of thecontracts are credited or charged to current income. Receivables arising from forward exchange contracts are offsetagainst related payables on the balance sheet dates.

4) Forward rate agreements

Forward rate agreements, which are mainly for accommodating customers’ needs or managing the Bank’s interest ratepositions, are recorded by memorandum entries at the contract dates. Gains or losses arising from the differencesbetween the contracted interest rates and actual interest rates upon settlement or on the balance sheet dates are creditedor charged to current income.

5) Cross-currency swaps

Cross-currency swaps, which are for the purposes of accommodating customers’ needs or managing the Bank’sexposures, are marked to market on the balance sheet dates. The interest received or paid at each settlement date orbalance sheet date is recognized as interest income or expense, which is credited or charged to current income.

6) Asset swaps

Asset swaps involve exchanging the fixed interest of convertible bonds or fixed rate notes for floating interest. Inaddition, asset swaps involve exchanging the fixed or floating interest of credit link notes for floating or fixed interest.

These transactions are recorded by memorandum entries at the contract dates. Asset swaps are entered into forhedging purposes; they are used to hedge interest rate exposure in convertible bonds, fixed rate notes and credit linknotes denominated in foreign currency. Net interest on each settlement or balance sheet date is recorded as anadjustment to interest income or expense associated with the bonds or notes being hedged.

The Bank held 116,565 shares of SPH with carrying amounts of $1,490,918. Those shares of SPH held by the Bank did notabide with the Financial Holding Company Act, which requires those shares to be (i) reissued to the employees of SPH or SPH’s

subsidiaries within three years, (ii) used for equity conversion, or (iii) sold on a stock exchange or GTSM. In the event thatshares are not reissued or sold, such shares should be cancelled which causes the SPH’s capital stock to decrease, and thealteration registration should be completed. According to the explanations of ARDF of ROC, if the Bank does not receive anyproceeds from SPH for those cancelled shares, the Bank needs to decrease its capital based on the capital decrease ratio whileSPH follows the regulation to cancel and decrease its capital stock. The Bank got approval from the authorities for thecancellation of capital stock, resulting in decreasing of capital stock of the Bank by $1,135,324. The date for capitaldecreasing is on August 26, 2005.

In 2005, the Bank reclassified the listed and GTSM stocks accounted for by the cost method as securities purchased (reclassified

as held for trading financial assets). The loss of $270,125 has been recognized when reclassified since the cost was lower thanthe market value. The market value has been recorded for the cost.

The Bank (formerly IBT) issued US$180,000 thousand in zero coupon Euro convertible bonds with par of US$1,000 onDecember 22, 2004. The terms of the bonds are as follows:

a. Redemption method

The Bank will redeem the bonds on the maturity date at a price equal to 99.95% of the outstanding principal amount unlessthe bonds have been previously redeemed, repurchased and canceled, or converted.

1) Redemption at the Bank’s option

a) At any time on or after December 22, 2006 and before December 22, 2009, the Bank may redeem all the bonds atone time or make piecemeal redemptions at 100% of the principal if the average closing price of the shares,translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate on the issue date, for at least 20 consecutive trading daysimmediately preceding the date of such notice of redemption, is at least 130% of the conversion price then ineffect, translated into U.S. dollars at the fixed exchange rate.

amount if there is change of control over the Bank.

d) On December 26, 2005, the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. This developmentconstitutes a change of control, on which the bond indenture has certain provisions. Thus, under the indenture,each holder has the right to require IBT to repurchase all or a portion of his/her bond holdings. In addition, IBTset February 22, 2006 as the change of control date and the change of put price at 100% of the unpaid principal ofthe bonds.

Effective June 30, 2006,the conversion price was reset from NT$22.99 to NT$22.25. Effective November 13, 2006, the conversion price wasreset NT$18.94.

22. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

a. Capital stock

The capitalization of retained earnings in 2004 had been approved by the authority, and the authorized and issued capitalincreased from $19,443,976 to $20,863,392 on July 6, 2005. Pursuant to the Financial Holding Company Act, the

116,565 shares of SPH, which were held by the Bank for three years as of May 8, 2005, has been cancelled andsubsequently decreased the SPH’s capital stock. In addition, the alteration registration has been completed. Because theBank did not receive the proceeds from SPH for those cancelled shares, it had to decrease its capital according to thecapital decrease ratio. The capital stock decreased by $1,135,324 (please see Note 6), and the capital stock after capitaldecrease amounted to $19,728,068. Furthermore, the Bank increased its authorized capital to $80,000,000 toaccommodate the need of mergering with IBT and issued 2,612,390,428 shares for the merger with IBT on November 13,2006. The capital stock after merger amounted to $45,851,972.

b. Capital surplus

Under related regulations, capital surplus may only be used to offset a deficit. However, capital surplus arising fromissuance of shares in excess of par value (including issuance in excess of common stock par value, issuance of shares forcombinations and treasury stock transactions) and donations may be transferred to common stock on the basis of thepercentage of shares held by the stockholders. Any capital surplus transferred to common stock should be within a certainpercentage prescribed by law.

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

The Bank’s Articles of Incorporation provide that the Bank may declare dividends or make other distributions fromearnings after it has:

1) Deducted any deficit of prior years;

2) Paid all outstanding taxes;

3) Set aside 30% of remaining earnings as legal reserve;

4) Set aside any special reserve or retained earnings allocated at its option;

5) Allocated Stockholders’ dividends

6) Allocated at least 1% of the remaining earnings which allocated stockholders’ dividends as employee bonus.

To comply with the Bank’s globalization strategy, strengthen its market position, integrate its diversified businessoperation and be a major local bank, the Bank has adopted the “Balanced Dividend Policy”. Under this policy, dividendsavailable for distribution are determined by referring to its capital adequacy ratio (CAR). Cash dividends may be declaredif the Bank’s CAR is above 10% and stock dividends may be declared if the CAR is equal to or less than 10%. However,

56

Financial Report

the Bank may make a discretionary cash distribution even if the CAR is below 10%, if approved at the stockholders’meeting, for the purpose of maintaining the cash dividends at a certain level in any given year.

Cash dividends and cash bonus are paid when approved by the stockholders, while the distribution of stock dividendsrequires the additional approval of the authorities.

Under the Company Law, the appropriation for legal reserve is made until the reserve equals the aggregate par value of theoutstanding capital stock of the Bank. This reserve is only used to offset a deficit. When its balance reaches 50% ofaggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank, and the Bank have no earnings, the legal reserve over 50%can be distributed as stock dividend or bonus, or, the Bank have no deficit, the Bank can retain the legal reserve up to 15%

of the outstanding capital and transferred the remaining legal reserve to common stock. In addition, the Banking Lawprovides that, before the balance of the reserve reaches the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock, annual cashdividends, remuneration to directors and supervisors and bonus to employees should not exceed 15% of aggregate parvalue of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank.

Under the Financial Holding Company Act, the board of directors is empowered to execute the authority in stockholders’meeting, which is under no jurisdiction in the related regulations in the Company Law.

On June 2, 2006, and April 28, 2005, the board of directors which execute rights and functions of stockholders’ meetingresolved the appropriation of 2005 and 2004 earnings, respectively, as follows:

income on bonds amounting to $173,382 in 2001, which pertained to the period those bonds were held by other investors.IBT accrued this liability and appealed the decision of the tax authorities. In 2003, IBT reached an agreement with theTaipei National Tax Administration (TNTA) on the above appealing cases, in which TNTA would refund 65% of thewithholding tax denied on the interest income on bonds to IBT. The income tax return for 2003 and 2002 had beenexamined by the tax authorities according to the aforementioned refund percentage. Consequently, IBT accrued 35% ofthe withholding tax denied on the interest income on bonds as income tax expenses for 2004 to 2006, which were notrefunded by tax authorities.

b. Methods and assumptions applied in estimating the fair values disclosures for financial instruments are as follows:

1) The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalent, due from the Central Bank and other banks, securities purchasedunder agreements to resell, receivable, call loans and due to banks, payables, securities sold under agreements torepurchase, and remittances approximate their fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments.

2) For financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, held-to-maturity investmentsand hedged derivative financial instruments, fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices.However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Bank’s various financial instruments. In caseswhere quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using available indirect data and

appropriate valuation methodologies.

Forward contracts’ and interest rate swap contracts’ fair values are based on estimates using present value techniques.Options’ fair value are based on estimates using Black Scholes model.

72

Financial Report

Fair value of forward contracts are estimated based on the forward rates provided by Reuters or the Associated Press.

Fair value of structured instruments are provided by the counter parties. All outstanding contracts are based onmatch basis and market risks will be offset.

Fair value of interest rate swap contracts and cross currency swap contracts are estimated based on the marketquotation provided by Reuters.

3) Discounts and loans, and deposits are interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Thus, their carryingamounts represent fair values. Fair value of nonperforming loans is based on the carrying amount, which is net of

allowance for credit losses.

4) When unquoted equity instruments which the Bank does not have significant influence over the investees do not havea quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at cost.

c. Interest revenue of financial assets and liabilities other than those at fair value through profit or loss amounted to$32,795,101 and $27,112,344, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Interest expense offinancial assets and liabilities other than those at fair value through profit or loss amounted to $18,154,456 and $13,148,904,

respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale financialassets amounted to ($181,492) were charged to stockholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2006.

d. Financial risk information

1) Market risk

The Bank sets up risk managing indicators according to the characters of the products to achieve the goal of risk

management. The Bank evaluates market risk exposure limits approved by the board of directors and informs relatedunits when over the limits timely.

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities determined based upon quoted market prices or estimatessummarized as follows:

The Bank establishes various specialist committees in head office and oversea branches to perform the role ofimplementing the risk management policies and procedures. Each sub-risk management team reviews limits onmonitoring and managing risk exposures under the respective supervision and reports to head office managementteam.

Market risk reports which include the monitor of outstanding position limitation of loss and quantitative measures ofrisk indicators are provided to risk management sector to manage risk exposure, risk premium and capital allocation.The indicators are calculated by the valuation models. The Bank uses the value-at-risk approach and Monte Carlosimulation method to derive quantitative measures for the trading book market risks under normal condition since2005.

The Bank formally document in writing its intention to apply hedge accounting and follow the requirement of relatedaccounting standards. Risk management sector should assess the effectiveness of the hedge relationship periodically.

2) Credit risk

The Bank is exposed to credit risk in the event of default on contracts by counter-parties. The Bank makes creditcommitments and issues financial guarantees and standby letters of credit only after careful evaluation of customers’credit worthiness. On the basis of the result of the credit evaluation, the Bank may require collateral before drawingsare made against the credit facilities. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, ratios of secured loans to total loans bothwere 59.6% and 62.2%, respectively. Ratio of secured financial guarantees and standby letters of credits were from12.2% to 12.4%. Collaterals held vary but may include cash, inventories, marketable securities, and other properties.When the customers default, the Bank will, as required by circumstances, foreclose the collaterals or execute otherrights arising out of the guarantees given. Since most of the commitments are expected to expire without being

drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash demands. The maximumpotential amount of future payments represents the notional amounts that could be lost under the guarantees if therewere a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisionsor from collateral held or pledged.

The maximum credit exposure of the financial instruments held by the Bank equaled the book value except whichanalyzed as follows:

The credit risk amounts of counterparties presented above were off-balance sheet credit risk contracts with positiveamounts on the balance sheet. Concentrations of credit risk exist when changes in economic, industry or geographicfactors similarly affect groups of counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is material in relation to the Bank’stotal credit exposure. The Bank maintains a diversified portfolio, limits its exposure to any one geographic region,country or individual creditor and monitors the exposure on a continuous basis. On December 31, 2006 and 2005,the Bank’s most significant concentrations of credit risk were summarized as follows:

3) Liquidity risk

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the liquidity reserve ratio was 29.88% and 22.6%, respectively. The Bank hassufficient capital and working capital to execute all the obligation of contract and had no liquidity risk. Thepossibility of the derivative financial instruments held by the Bank fail to liquidate quickly with minimal loss in value

is low.

The management policy of the Bank is to match in the contractual maturity profile and interest rate of its assets andliabilities. As a result of the uncertainty, the maturities and interest rates of assets and liabilities usually didn’t fullymatch. The gap may arise potential gain or loss.

The Bank applied appropriate way to group assets and liabilities. The maturity analysis of assets and liabilities wasas follows:

FENB engages in derivative financial instrument transactions mainly for accommodating customers’ needs andmanaging its exposure positions.

FENB is exposed to credit risk if the counter-parties default on the contracts on maturity date. FENB enters intocontracts with customers that have satisfied its credit approval process and have provided the necessary collateral.Transactions are made within each customer’s credit line; guarantee deposits may be required, depending on thecustomer’s credit standing. Transactions with other banks are made within the trading limit set for each bank based

on the bank’s credit rating and its worldwide ranking. The associated credit risk has been considered in theevaluation of provision for credit losses.

As of December 31, 2005, the contract amounts (or notional amounts), credit risks and fair values of outstandingcontracts were as follows:

The fair value of each contract is determined on the basis of quotations from Reuters or the Telerate InformationSystem.

The notional amounts of derivative contracts are used solely for the purpose of calculating receivables and payables toall contract parties. Thus, the notional amounts do not represent the actual cash inflows or outflows. Thepossibility that derivative financial instruments held or issued by FENB cannot be sold at reasonable prices is remote;

thus, no significant cash demand is expected.

b. Information related to investment in Mainland China: None.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and its subsidiaries, SinoPac Bancorp, as consolidatedwith SinoPac Bancorp and its subsidiaries SinoPac Financial Services (USA) Ltd. and FENB alone with its subsidiaries,SinoPac Leasing Corporation consolidated with Grand Capital International Limited (SinoPac Leasing and its subsidiary,thereafter), SinoPac Capital Limited consolidated with SinoPac Capital (B.V.I.) Ltd., SinoPac Insurance Brokers Ltd., SinoPac

(Hong Kong) Naniness Ltd. (completed the legal dissolution process before June 2006), Cyberpac Holding Ltd. (completed thelegal dissolution process before June 2006), Shanghai International Asset Management (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., PinnacleInvestment Management Ltd. and RSP Information Service Company Limited (SinoPac Capital Limited and its subsidiaries,thereafter), SinoPac Life Insurance Agent and SinoPac Property Insurance Agent. All significant inter-company transactionsand balances have been eliminated for consolidation purpose.

In order to conform the reorganization of parent company, SPH, and to simplify the Group’s framework of investment, SinoPacCapital and its subsidiaries transferred Allstar Venture Ltd. (B.V.I.), Wal Tech International Corporation and Intellisys Corp. to

SinoPac Venture Capital Co., Ltd. (SinoPac Venture Capital), the subsidiary of SPH in 2005. Under an explanation issued bythe Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China (the “ARDF of ROC”), the aforementionedtransactions were using the investees’ net worth as transfer price.

The subsidiary of the Bank, SinoPac Financial Consulting Co., Ltd., was not included in the consolidated entities, since it isimmaterial to the consolidated financial statements of the Bank and subsidiaries. The information regarding consolidatedentities were summarized and listed in table 6, and the subsidiaries excluded from consolidated entities were summarized andlisted in table 7.

The Bank and its subsidiaries’ consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with the Criteria Governing thePreparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks, Criteria Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers,the Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in theR.O.C. In determining fair value of certain financial instruments, the allowance for credit losses, depreciation for fixed assetsand assets held for leasing, pension, income tax, amortization of deferred charges, losses upon suspended lawsuit and provisionfor losses on guarantees, the Bank and its subsidiaries need to make estimates based on judgment at available information.Actual results could differ from those estimates based on judgment at available information. Since the operating cycle couldnot be reasonably identified in the banking industry, accounts included in the Bank and its subsidiaries’ consolidated financial

statements were not classified as current or non-current. Nevertheless, accounts were properly categorized according to thenature of each account, and sequenced by their liquidity. Please refer to Note 36 for maturity analysis of assets and liabilities.Significant accounting policies of the Bank and its subsidiaries are summarized below:

Financial Instruments at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss consist of any financial asset and liability that is designated on initialrecognition as one to be measured at fair value with fair value changes in profit or loss and financial assets and liabilities which

should be classified as held for trading. Those instruments are required to be recognized at fair value and to be measured atfair value through profit or loss on the balance sheet date. The Bank and its subsidiaries use trade date accounting whenrecording transaction.

Derivative instruments transaction which do not meet the specified criteria to obtain hedge accounting treatment are classified asfinancial assets or liabilities held for trading when the fair value of a derivative is positive, it is carried as an asset and whilenegative as a liability.

Fair value are determined as follows: (a) listed stocks and GreTai Securities Market (the “GTSM”) stocks - closing prices asof the balance sheet date; (b) beneficiary certificates (open-end fund) - net asset values as of the balance sheet dates; (c) bonds -period-end reference prices published by the GTSM or Bloomberg; and (d) for the financial instruments without active markets,fair value is determined using valuation techniques.

93

Any financial asset and any financial liability may be designated as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss toeliminate measurement anomalies for items that provide a natural offset of each other. Besides, the set of financial assets,

financial liabilities or combined by both of them managed according to the Bank’s risk management policies and investmentstrategies will be designated as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions

Securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repurchase) agreements and securities sold under agreements torepurchase are generally treated as collateralized financing transactions. Interest earned on reverse repurchase agreements andinterest incurred on repurchase agreements is recognized as interest income or interest expense over the life of each agreement.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets arereported in equity attribute to the shareholders. On disposal of an available-for-sale financial asset, the accumulated,unrealized gain or loss in equity attributable to the shareholders is transferred to net profit and loss for the period. The Bankand its subsidiaries use trade date accounting when recording available-for-sale portfolio transactions.

Dividend income from equity securities is recognized on ex-dividend dates. Cash dividends received a year after investmentacquisition are recognized as income, otherwise as a reduction of the carrying value of the investments. The effective interestrate method of amortization and accretion is used, the straight line method is used if there is no significant difference.

If an available-for-sale financial asset is determined to be impaired, the accumulative unrealized loss previously recognized inequity attributable to the shareholders is recognized as impairment loss and reported in income statement. For equityinvestments, loss reversal is adjusted to the equity attributable to the shareholders. For debt investments, loss reversal iscredited to current income.

Nonperforming Loans

Under guidelines issued by the Banking Bureau of Financial Supervisory Commission (the Banking Bureau), the balance ofloans and other credits extended by the Bank and its subsidiaries and the related accrued interest thereon are classified asnonperforming when the loan is overdue and shall be authorized by a resolution passed by the board of directors.

Nonperforming loans reclassified from loans are classified as discounts and loans; otherwise, are classified as other financial

assets.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Provision for Losses on Guarantees

In determining the allowance for credit losses and provision for losses on guarantees, the Bank and its subsidiaries assess thecollectibility on the balances of discounts and loans, accounts receivables, interest receivables, other receivables, leasereceivables, nonperforming loans and other financial assets, as well as guarantees and acceptances as of the balance sheet dates.

Pursuant to “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with

Non-performing/Non-accrual Loans” (the “Regulations”) issued by the Banking Bureau, the Bank evaluates credit losses on thebasis of the estimated collectibility. In accordance with the Regulations stated above, the minimum provision for credit lossesshould not be less than the aggregate of 50% of the doubtful credits and 100% of the unrecoverable credits. Since July 2005,the Regulations amended the classification of loan assets, which divided the loan assets into different class subjects to assets thatrequire special mention, assets that are substandard, assets that are doubtful, and assets for which there is loss. The minimumallowance for credit losses and provision for losses on guarantees for the aforementioned classes should be 2%, 10%, 50% and100% of outstanding credits, respectively. The amendments on the classification of loan assets have no significant impact onthe Bank’s financial statements.

Write-offs of loans falling under the Banking Bureau guidelines, upon approval by the board of directors, are offset against therecorded allowance for credit losses.

Held-to-maturity Investments

Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost, which are valued by interest method, otherwise use the straight linemethod if there is no significant difference. At initial recognition, the costs of the financial assets are valued at fair value of the

financial assets together with acquire or issue costs. The net profit and loss of the held-to-maturity investments for the periodare reported in to income statement when on disposal, impairment or amortization. The Bank and its subsidiaries use tradedate accounting when recording transaction.

94

Financial Report

If a held-to-maturity investment is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss is recognized and reported in incomestatement. Loss reversal is credited to current income and should not be more than the carrying amount had the impairment not

been recognized.

Equity Investments - Equity Method

Equity investments are accounted for by the equity method if the Bank and its subsidiaries have significant influence over theinvestees. Under this method, investments are stated at cost plus (or minus) a proportionate share in net earnings (losses) orchanges in net worth of the investees. Goodwill is not amortized but test annually for impairment since January 1, 2006.Until December 31, 2005, any difference between the acquisition cost and the equity in the investee is amortized over 15 years.

Stock dividends result only in an increase in number of shares and are not recognized as investment income.

If an investee issues new shares and the Bank and its subsidiaries do not acquire new shares in proportion to its current equity inthe investee, the resulting increase of the Bank and its subsidiaries’ equity in the investee’s net asset is credited to capital surplus.Any decrease of the Bank and its subsidiaries’ equity in the investee’s net asset is debited to capital surplus. If capital surplusis not enough for the debiting purpose, the remaining is debited to unappropriated retained earnings.

Financial Asset Securitization

Under the “Regulations for Financial Asset Securitization”, the Bank securitized part of its enterprise loans and entrusted thoseloans to the commissioned organization for the issuance of the related beneficiary certificates. Thus, the Bank derecognizesthe loans and records gain or loss because the control of contractual rights - except for subordinated retained interests for creditenhancement, which were reclassified as available-for-sale financial assets - on the loans has been surrendered and transferred toa special purpose trustee.

The gain or loss on the sale of the loans is the difference between the proceeds and carrying amount of the loans. The previous

carrying amount of the loans should be allocated by applying the ratios of the retained subordinated beneficiary certificates andthe part sold to their fair values on the date of sale. Because quotes are not available for loans and retained subordinatedbeneficiary certificates, the Bank estimates fair value at the present value of expected future cash flows, using management’skey assumptions on credit losses and discount rates commensurate to the risks involved.

Subordinated beneficiary certificates - retained interest of securitization are accounted for as available-for-sale financial assets.Interest revenue is recorded when received. The Bank evaluates retained interests by estimating present value of expectedfuture cash flows, the difference will be recognized under stockholders’ equity. If the substantive period the impairment is

obviously related to the subject occurred after the recognition of impairment, the difference will be reversed and recognized ascurrent income or loss. However, the book value with the reversal amount must not exceed the amortized cost withoutrecognizing the loss.

Properties and Non-operating Assets

Properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while repairs andmaintenance are expensed as incurred.

Upon sale or disposal of properties, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Anyresulting gain (loss) is credited (charged) to current income.

Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method on the basis of service lives initially estimated as follows: buildings, 5 to60 years; computer equipment, 3 to 5 years; transportation equipment, 5 to 8 years; office and other equipment, 3 to 15 years;and leasehold improvement, 4 to 5 years. Depreciation on revalued properly is computed on the basis of their remaining usefullives at the time of the revaluation. For assets still in use beyond their original estimated service lives, further depreciation iscalculated on the basis of any remaining salvage value and the estimated additional service lives.

Deferred Charges

The computer software and other deferred charges (included in other assets) are amortized on the straight-line basis over 3 to 5years.

Asset Impairment

The Bank and its subsidiaries began applying ROC Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 35, “Accountingfor Asset Impairment,” on January 1, 2005, which requires that cash-generating units (CGUs) and certain assets, includinginvestments accounted for by the equity method, properties, goodwill, etc., be subject to an impairment audit.

www.banksinopac.com

95

SFAS No. 35 requires the impairment audit on long-term investments accounted for by the equity method and properties to bemade on each balance sheet date. If assets or CGUs are deemed impaired, then the Bank and its subsidiaries must calculate

their recoverable amounts. An impairment loss should be recognized whenever the recoverable amount of the assets or theCGU is below the carrying amount, and this impairment loss either is charged to accumulated impairment or reduces thecarrying amount of the assets or CGUs directly. After the recognition of an impairment loss, the depreciation (amortization)should be adjusted in future periods by the revised asset/CGUs carrying amount (net of accumulated impairment), less itssalvage value, on a systematic basis over its remaining service life. If asset impairment loss (excluding goodwill) is reversed,the increase in the carrying amount resulting from reversal is credited to current income. However, loss reversal should not bemore than the carrying amount (net of depreciation) had the impairment not been recognized. A reversal of an impairment losson a revalued asset is credited directly to capital surplus from revaluation under the heading capital surplus from revaluation.

However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognized as profit or loss, a reversalof that impairment loss is also recognized as profit or loss.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstance indicate goodwillimpairment. Impairment is recorded if the book value exceeds value in use. The increase in the recoverable amount ofgoodwill in the period following the recognition of an impairment loss is likely to be an increase in internally generatedgoodwill rather than the reversal of the impairment loss recognized for the acquired goodwill. Thus, reversal of impairmentloss on goodwill is prohibited.

Collaterals Assumed

Collaterals assumed are recorded at cost (included in other assets) and revalued at the lower of cost or net fair value on thebalance sheet dates, and resulting loss is charged to current income.

Other Financial Assets

Non-active market debt instruments are those which do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair valuecannot be reliably measured. Non-active market debt instruments are carried at amortized cost. The accounting treatment ofnon-active market debt instruments is similar to the one of held-to maturity investments but there’s no prohibition on sale ofnon-active market debt instruments.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot bereliably measure, are measured at cost. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired, an impairment loss isrecognized and reversal of impairment loss is prohibited.

Amortization of Bond Issuance Cost

The direct and necessary costs (included in other assets) related to the Euro-convertible bonds issued before December 31, 2005are amortized using the straight-line method and recognized as issuance expenses over the period from its issuance date to theexpiration date of the put option.

Bonds Payable

Account Receivable Factoring

Factoring receivables are account receivables purchased by the Bank and its subsidiaries. Service fees and interest income arerecognized during the factoring period.

Contingencies

A loss is recognized when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of losscan be reasonably estimated. If the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated or the loss is possible, the relatedinformation is disclosed in the financial statements.

Foreign-currency Translations

The translation of the foreign operation institute’s financial statement are as follows: The assets or liabilities accounts aretranslated at the spot rate on the balance sheet date; the stockholders’ equity accounts except the beginning balance of retainedearnings are translated at the historical rate. The beginning balance of the retained earnings is translated equally as the endingbalance of the aforementioned year. Dividends are translated at the spot rate on the declaration date; the revenue on expenseaccounts are translated at the weighted average rate.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date of the transaction. At the balance sheet date,monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan dollars equivalents using theclosing exchange rate. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of transactions at rates different from those at the date ofthe transaction, as well as unrealized foreign exchange differences on unsettled foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities,are recognized in the income statement.

Unrealized exchange differences on non-monetary financial assets (investments in equity instruments) are a component of the

change in their entire fair value. For a non-monetary financial asset classified as held for trading, unrealized exchangedifferences are recognized in the income statement. For non-monetary financial investments, which are classified asavailable-for-sale, unrealized exchange differences are recorded directly in equity until the asset is sold or becomes impaired.Except for the initial investment cost, gains or losses resulting from restatement at period-end of foreign-currency denominatedequity investments accounted for by the equity method are credited or charged to “cumulative translation adjustment” understockholders’ equity.

Hedge Accounting

Non-trading derivatives, which are used primarily as a risk management tool for hedging interest rate risk arising on on-balancesheet liabilities, are accounted for on the same basis as the underlying items being hedged.

In order to qualify as a hedge, a derivative must effectively reduce any risk inherent in the hedged item from potentialmovements in interest rates, exchange rates and market values. Changes in the fair value of the derivative must be highlycorrelated with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item over the life of the hedged contract. At the inception ofthe hedge, there must be formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship, the Bank’s risk managementobjective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged items, overall risk management objectives

and strategies and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness.

A fair value hedge that meets all the hedge accounting criteria is accounted for as follows:

a. The gain or loss from re-measuring the hedging instrument at fair value (for a derivative hedging instrument) or the foreigncurrency component of its carrying amount (for a non-derivative hedging instrument) is recognised immediately in profit orloss, and

b. The carrying amount of the hedged item is adjusted through profit or loss for the corresponding gain or loss attributable tothe hedged risk.

Certain 2005 accounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 financial statements presentation.

b. Reclassification

Under an explanation issued by ARDF of R.O.C, when the Bank and its subsidiaries adopt Statement of FinancialAccounting Standard No. 34 effective on January 1, 2006, the Bank and subsidiaries need to reclassify the comparative

financial statements for the year ended 2005 instead of restating. The Bank and its subsidiaries shall state the differentvaluation method in the notes to the financial statements.

The different valuation methods of financial instruments the Bank and its subsidiaries apply are summarized as follows:

market value. Market prices are determined as follows: (a) listed stocks - average daily closing prices for the lastmonth of the accounting period and; (b) GTSM stocks - average daily closing prices for the last month of theaccounting period, published by GTSM.

2) Long-term investments

Long-term equity investments are accounted for by the cost method if the Bank and subsidiaries do not havesignificant influence over the investees. For listed and GTSM stocks accounted for by the cost method, when theaggregate market value is lower than the total carrying amount, an allowance for decline in market value is provided

and the unrealized loss is charged against stockholders’ equity. If a decline in the value of an unlisted stockinvestment is considered as permanent loss, the decline is charged to current income.

3) Foreign exchange forward

Foreign-currency assets and liabilities arising from forward exchange contracts, which are mainly for accommodatingcustomers’ needs or managing the Bank and its subsidiaries’ currency positions, are recorded at the contractedforward rates. Gains or losses arising from the differences between the contracted forward rates and spot rates on

settlement are credited or charged to current income. For contracts outstanding on the balance sheet dates, the gainsor losses arising from the differences between the contracted forward rates and the forward rates available for theremaining maturities of the contracts are credited or charged to current income. Receivables arising from forwardexchange contracts are offset against related payables on the balance sheet dates.

4) Forward rate agreements

Forward rate agreements, which are mainly for accommodating customers’ needs or managing the Bank and its

subsidiaries’ interest rate positions, are recorded by memorandum entries at the contract dates. Gains or lossesarising from the differences between the contracted interest rates and actual interest rates upon settlement or on thebalance sheet dates are credited or charged to current income.

5) Cross-currency swaps

Cross-currency swaps, which are for the purposes of accommodating customers’ needs or managing the Bank and itssubsidiaries’ exposures, are marked to market on the balance sheet dates.

6) Asset swaps

Asset swaps involve exchanging the fixed interest of convertible bonds or fixed rate notes for floating interest. In

addition, asset swaps involve exchanging the fixed or floating interest of credit link notes for floating or fixed interest.These transactions are recorded by memorandum entries at the contract dates. Asset swaps are entered into forhedging purposes; they are used to hedge interest rate exposure in convertible bonds, fixed rate notes and credit linknotes denominated in foreign currency.

To comply with the Bank’s globalization strategy, strengthen its market position, integrate its diversified businessoperation and be a major local bank, the Bank has adopted the “Balanced Dividend Policy”. Under this policy, dividends

However,the Bank may make a discretionary cash distribution even if the CAR is below 10%, if approved at the stockholders’meeting, for the purpose of maintaining the cash dividends at a certain level in any given year.

Cash dividends and cash bonus are paid when approved by the stockholders, while the distribution of stock dividendsrequires the additional approval of the authorities.

Under the Company Law, the appropriation for legal reserve is made until the reserve equals the aggregate par value of theoutstanding capital stock of the Bank. This reserve is only used to offset a deficit. When its balance reaches 50% ofaggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank, and the Bank have no earnings, the legal reserve over 50%can be distributed as stock dividend or bonus, or, the Bank have no deficit, the Bank can retain the legal reserve up to 15%of the outstanding capital and transferred the remaining legal reserve to common stock. In addition, the Banking Lawprovides that, before the balance of the reserve reaches the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock, annual cashdividends, remuneration to directors and supervisors and bonus to employees should not exceed 15% of aggregate parvalue of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank.

Under the Financial Holding Company Act, the board of directors is empowered to execute the authority in stockholders’meeting, which is under no jurisdiction in the related regulations in the Company Law.

In 2003, IBT reached an agreement with theTaipei National Tax Administration (TNTA) on the above appealing cases, in which TNTA would refund 65% of thewithholding tax denied on the interest income on bonds to IBT. The income tax return for 2003 and 2002 had beenexamined by the tax authorities according to the aforementioned refund percentage. Consequently, IBT accrued 35% of

the withholding tax denied on the interest income on bonds as income tax expenses for 2004 to 2006, which were notrefunded by tax authorities.

Under the integrated income tax system, which took effect on January 1, 1998, the stockholders are allowed a tax credit fortheir proportionate share of the income tax paid by the Bank on earnings generated since 1998. An imputation creditaccount (ICA) is maintained by the Bank for such income tax and the tax credit allocated to each stockholder. Themaximum credit available for allocation to each stockholder cannot exceed the balance shown in the ICA on the date ofdividend distribution.

b. Methods and assumptions applied in estimating the fair values disclosures for financial instruments are as follows:

1) The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalent, due from the Central Bank and other banks, securities purchasedunder agreements to resell, receivables, call loans and due to banks, payables, short-term borrowings, commercialpaper payable, remittances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximate their fair values because of

the short maturities of these instruments.

2) Since long-term borrowings are interest-bearing liabilities at floating interest rate, their carrying amounts representfair values.

3) Long-term lease receivables are fixed interest-earning assets. Thus, their carrying amounts represent fair values.

4) For financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, held-to-maturity investments

and hedged derivative financial instruments, fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices.However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Bank’s various financial instruments. In caseswhere quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using available indirect data andappropriate valuation methodologies.

132

Financial Report

Forward contracts’ and interest rate swap contracts’ fair values are based on estimates using present value techniques.

Options’ fair value are based on estimates using Black - Scholes model.

Fair value of forward contracts are estimated based on the forward rates provided by Reuters or the Associated Press.

Fair value of structured instruments are provided by the counter parties. All outstanding contracts are based onmatch basis and market risks will be offset.

Fair value of interest rate swap contracts and cross currency swap contracts are estimated based on the market

quotation provided by Reuters.

5) Discounts and loans, deposits, bank debentures and other financial liabilities are interest-earning assets andinterest-bearing liabilities at floating interest rate. Thus, their carrying amounts represent fair values. Fair value ofnonperforming loans is based on the carrying amount, which is net of allowance for credit losses.

6) When unquoted equity instruments which the Bank and its subsidiaries do not have significant influence over theinvestees do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are

measured at cost.

c. Interest revenue of financial assets and liabilities other than those at fair value through profit or loss amounted to$37,404,373 and $20,213,001, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Interest expense offinancial assets and liabilities other than those at fair value through profit or loss amounted to $20,525,915 and $17,220,570,respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale financialassets amounted to ($181,492) were charged to stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2006.

d. Financial risk information

1) Market risk

The Bank sets up risk managing indicators according to the characters of the products to achieve the goal of riskmanagement. The Bank and its subsidiaries evaluate market risk exposure limits approved by the board of directorsand informs related units when over the limits timely.

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities determined based upon quoted market prices or estimatessummarized as follows:

The Bank establishes various specialist committees in head office and oversea branches to perform the role ofimplementing the risk management policies and procedures. Each sub-risk management team audits limits onmonitoring and managing risk exposures under the respective supervision and reports to head office managementteam.

Market risk reports which include the monitor of outstanding position limitation of loss and quantitative measures ofrisk indicators are provided to risk management sector to manage risk exposure, risk premium and capital allocation.The indicators are calculated by the valuation models. The Bank uses the value-at-risk approach and Monte Carlo

simulation method to derive quantitative measures for the trading book market risks under normal condition.

The Bank formally documents in writing its intention to apply hedge accounting and follow the requirement of relatedaccounting standards. Risk management sector should assess the effectiveness of the hedge relationship periodically.

2) Credit risk

The Bank is exposed to credit risk in the event of default on contracts by counter-parties. The Bank makes creditcommitments and issues financial guarantees and standby letters of credit only after careful evaluation of customers’credit worthiness. On the basis of the result of the credit evaluation, the Bank may require collateral before drawingsare made against the credit facilities. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, ratios of secured loans to total loans bothwere 59.6% and 62.2%. Ratio of secured financial guarantees and standby letters of credits were from 12.2% to12.4%. Collaterals held vary but may include cash, inventories, marketable securities, and other properties. Whenthe customers default, the Bank and its subsidiaries will, as required by circumstances, foreclose the collaterals orexecute other rights arising out of the guarantees given. Since most of the commitments are expected to expire

without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash demands. Themaximum potential amount of future payments represents the notional amounts that could be lost under the guaranteesif there were a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourseprovisions or from collateral held or pledged.

The maximum credit exposure of the financial instruments (except for fair value of collaterals) held by the Bank andits subsidiaries equaled the book value except which analysed as follows:

Concentrations of credit risk exist when changes ineconomic, industry or geographic factors similarly affect groups of counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure ismaterial in relation to the Bank’s total credit exposure. The Bank and its subsidiaries maintain a diversified portfolio,limits its exposure to any one geographic region, country or individual creditor and monitors the exposure on acontinuous basis. On December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Bank’ most significant concentrations of credit risk weresummarized as follows:

3) Liquidity risk

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the liquidity reserve ratio was 29.88% and 22.66%, respectively. The Bank andits subsidiaries have sufficient capital and working capital to execute all the obligation of contract and had no liquidityrisk. The possibility of the derivative financial instruments held by the Bank fail to liquidate quickly with minimal

loss in value is low.

The management policy of the Bank and its subsidiaries are to match in the contractual maturity profile and interestrate of its assets and liabilities. As a result of the uncertainty, the maturities and interest rates of assets and liabilitiesusually didn’t fully match. The gap may arise potential gain or loss.

The Bank and FENB applied appropriate way to group assets and liabilities. The maturity analysis of assets andliabilities was as follows:
